House Passes Bill With $3.3 Billion For Israel, Jewish-Related Priorities

(JNS) The U.S. House of Representatives passed a $1.37 trillion appropriations bill this week that includes the annual $3.3 billion in security assistance to Israel. It also addresses other Jewish and Israel-related priorities.

No U.S. aid will go to the Palestinian Authority. There is also no U.S. funding for the U.N. Human Rights Council, which the United States withdrew from in June 2018.

Up to $30 million is allocated to boost reconciliation programs for Israelis and Palestinians.

The legislation does not include the $175 million requested by the Trump administration for economic assistance to the Palestinians as part of its Mideast peace plan.

The bill consists of $90 million for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) that seeks to protect nonprofit institutions, including synagogues.

Around $60.39 million is allocated for the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum through 2022.
